The image depicts the Chouara Tannery in Fez, Morocco, an open-air facility surrounded by multi-story, yellowish-ochre buildings under a bright blue sky with scattered white clouds. The central courtyard is a functional area characterized by numerous stone tanning vats of various sizes and depths. In the foreground, the ground is uneven, stone-paved, and heavily saturated with water and mud, reflecting the tannery environment. A pile of assorted sacks—white, blue, and pink—rests on the ground to the right. Approximately five to seven workers are visible within the tanning area. One worker in the mid-ground wears a distinctive yellow head covering and dark waders, stooping over a rectangular stone vat containing liquid and possibly hides. Another worker in dark clothing walks across the wet ground between vats. Other workers are engaged with piles of hides or within vats. Numerous animal hides in various stages of processing are present throughout the scene. Many natural-toned (beige/brown) hides are draped over the walls and roofs of the surrounding buildings for drying. A large mass of reddish-colored hides is visible within a vat towards the right side of the image. Piles of unprocessed or partially processed hides are stacked on the ground near the vats. Several individuals are observed on the balconies and viewing platforms of the surrounding buildings, overlooking the tannery operations, suggesting tourist observation points. Wooden structures and scaffolding are integrated into the architecture of the surrounding buildings.
